When trying to view my forum, this is what I get.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /misc/21/148/893/346/0/user/web/forum.datasound.us/forum/index.php on line 1182
Everything was working great for years. Never any problems. I have made no changes.
I have attached the index.php file if someone thinks they can help.

If you're on a shared server, another customer could have been hacked if you can guarantee the security of your site (check your other applications as they could be vulnerable to attack). I bet if the host examined all the sites on your server, they would probably find many of them compromised in the same manner. If the latter is true, urge your host to secure their services in such a way as to prevent vulnerable sites from affecting other customers.
Also if they confirm multiple sites are hacked, you might want to consider two things, migrate to another one of their servers, or migrate to a new host. In either case, upload your site's content again, assuming it is more than just forums. Update all of your applications with latest releases and security fixes, forums et al. Make use of securityfocus' vulnerability list.
Lastly and strictly speaking, you can no longer trust the integrity of your site. Assume it is compromised beyond the simple iframe hack and reupload everything. While this is true of -all- data on your site, your forum data is most likely safe, as fudforum has a very long history of security goodness, and whatever script was run to add the iframe was probably just looking for index files to modify.

your friendly neighborhood IT security consultant
